I just installed the dspam package on ubuntu 7.10. Before integrating
dspam with my mail system (postfix + dovecot), I wanted to test the
program -- but it apparently just does nothing.
Is this normal dspam behaviour?! How can I feed it a mail, and see its
output? (I would expect that dspam acts as a filter, and gives back the
input mail with attached X-Spam-Headers or similar..)
Would really depend on the options it was built with, welcome to the joys of
packages, only the package builder can tell you. Take a look at this link
for an integration of dspam where maildrop calls dspam and all mail be it
spam or ham gets delivered back to maildrop for delivery / delivery to
quarantine.

In that scenario, you should see output back to you from the commandline,
but this guy does build from source and not an ubuntu package.
HTH,
Brian.
